He Helped Solve A Murder Case
Black comedian, Dick Gregory is a big fan of Hugh Hefner. The reason for this is because Hugh offered $25,000 as a reward for finding the bodies of 3 murder victims in the 60’s. His charitable deed brought new light to a murder case that seemed to have hit a wall.
He Rallied For Gay Rights
During a time when homosexuality was more questionable than it is now, Hugh was supportive. After a fictitious article circulated about a straight man being shunned by gay men, heaps of criticism followed. Hefner commented, “If it was wrong to persecute heterosexuals in a homosexual society, then the reverse was wrong, too.”
